The Elephants, beaten by Nigeria (1-0) on the second day of the group stage, must make up for it. The first host country to lose a group match since Equatorial Guinea in 2012, Ivory Coast will face this same selection on Monday January 22 at 6 p.m. at the Alassane-Ouattara stadium in Epimbé.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s team is currently third in their group. However, they started the competition well by winning against Guinea-Bissau in the opening match (2-0).
For its part, Equatorial Guinea is currently at the top of Group A. After holding Nigeria to a draw on the first day (1-1), it won against Guinea-Bissau (4-2) . With four points on the clock, they have a good chance of qualifying since the first two in each group as well as the four best third-placed teams reach the round of 16.
The kick-off for Equatorial Guinea-Côte d’Ivoire will be given this Monday, at 6 p.m. on beIN Sports 2 and live commentary on leparisien.fr
